Just to have some balance, I highly appreciate what aracnoz did with DSPlayer and how far he took it. I hope he will not lose his motivation and will keep on improving it. There is clearly demand for DSPlayer shown by the fact that it raised from its ashes a few times already.
I disagree with Fernet about not contributing code. It is the team's decision to not take the DSPlayer and with that the countless hours put into this piece of code.
I doubt DSPlayer will ever be in mainline and there are valid reasons for that (who would maintain it in the long term?). I see no problem with that though. Just keep the code clean to enable easy merges with upstream in the future and it can live a healthy life as a fork for Windows users who demand the extensibility and high video quality DSPlayer delivers.
